Soccer causes brain damage. How do we know? Medical research is confirmed by this: no soccer player would fasten their smartphone to their head with an Ace bandage and use it to “head” a soccer ball.
Many aren’t able to understand that the trillions of complex connections within the human brain are far more important than the circuitry in their smart phones. Delicate neural connections are permanently damaged by heading soccer balls. If Thomas Edison had played soccer, he would have never invented the light bulb. Brain damage makes it impossible to live up to full intellectual potential.
Amazing that not one Catholic Bishop has dared to take on the Soccer Establishment. They will stand bravely against abortion, pornography, and hurtful sins. But, not one Catholic Bishop has said: “I just googled ‘brain damage soccer’. Right in front of me, there was enough medical evidence for anyone who wasn’t brain-damaged to conclude ‘Children should not be heading soccer balls!'”
Not one Bishop has ordered “Soccer could be a better game. It’s wrong, if not evil, to let children damage their brains with the countless mini-concussions from heading big, hard, fast-moving soccer balls. Parochial Schools in this Diocese will not allow children to head soccer balls. If the the Public Schools want to damage their children’s brains, there’s nothing we can do about that. But, we can keep our own children’s brains from being damaged.”
Medical research shows that children playing football also suffer permanent brain damage. Where is Bishop Shortfall? If he’s afraid of soccer moms and coaches, he certainly isn’t going to take on the football establishment!
From one Diocese, Bishop Shortfall speaks for many Bishops: “Frankly, it’s easier to let them keep on damaging their brains than try to stop them. Our real problem is a lack of priestly vocations and disappearing parishioners. It’s like they think we don’t care about them.”
Similarly, not one Catholic Bishop has cared or dared to say: “Our parishioners are driven into poverty by high property taxes that go up endlessly to pay for the huge pensions of public school employees. More and more parents are unable to pay high taxes and afford Parochial School tuition. To protect our parishioners, we are establishing Parish Cyber Schools. They will adapt successful cyber curricula and allow families to home school three or four days a week and attend formal classes and Mass in Parochial Schools or church classrooms one or two days a week.”
Bishop Shortfall sits firmly, as if the Doctrine of Subsidiarity is dead. “I am not impressed by some Uber-like, money saving modern approach to education. It would be too much work for Catholics to have Parish Cyber Schools. Frankly, we are too busy being meaningful to worry about helping more children get better educations at lower cost. Of course we could improve their educations and save their parents money by using Catholic Cyber Schools to reduce the number of public school employees that are needed. But, it would be a lot of work! The people who run our schools think that it would be very upsetting. How can I run my Diocese if my top administrators are unhappy? They are professional educators! How can I tell them what to do!”
